Groovin High, Inc.

Groovin High is Joe Bruce’s one-man show—he owns and operates the new-and-used record shop entirely by himself. Nearly every inch of space in the small storefront is plastered with posters from local bands like The Smith Westerns to Neil Young and Ke$ha, or stacked with merchandise. Boxes of unsorted records and CDs add to the already ample selection of music. There’s as wide a variety of genres as Bruce can pack into the space, including an unusually large amount of classical music on both vinyl and CD, and both serious collectors and casual browsers can feel comfortable in the unpretentious atmosphere. The store sells books, DVDs and VHS tapes as well, but it’s clearly a music lover’s home. (Shaunacy Ferro)
